Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. of Las Vegas, the gambling firm which recently pulled out of building a $1.5 billion mega-casino in Atlantic City, announced today that it has hired a new top executive.

The firm named former Multimedia Games Inc. executive Anthony M. Sanfilippo as CEO and president.

Sanfilippo, 51, takes over from interim CEO John V. Giovenco, who will remain as a board member. Giovenco took the post in November after former CEO and president Daniel R. Lee resigned "to pursue other business interests."

Pinnacle purchased the former Sands Hotel Casino and adjacent beachfront property from financier Carl Icahn in late 2006 for $275 million and announced its intention to build a mega-casino at the site. It imploded the Sands in October 2007, but the economy and credit markets turned, and the firm slowly retrenched from its plans.

In early 2008, the firm announced that the Boardwalk project was "indefinitely on hold." And last month, Pinnacle announced that it was selling the land and focusing on its more profitable riverboat casinos in the Midwest and elsewhere. Two days later, MGM Mirage announced that it was also pulling back from Atlantic City and selling its 50 percent stake in the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa.

MGM reached a settlement with state gambling regulators on Friday that outlined the terms on which it would divest its stake in the Borgata. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission will hold a hearing on the matter on Wednesday.

At electronic gaming supplier Multimedia Games, Sanfilippo served as CEO, president and board member. He was also previously president of the central and western divisions at Harrah's Entertainment Inc.

As part of the reshuffling, Richard J. Goeglein, who was tapped as interim nonexecutive chairman in November, will now take on that role permanently.

The use of master cards was considered as one of the most popular methods of payment at online casinos. But now unfortunately, Master Card and credit card processing in general is going through a difficult time as it has decided to stop taking all gambling transactions.

Online casinos have been hit by a massive crackdown by MasterCard to stop people in the US spending money at online casinos and poker. Some of the major online poker and casino sites have stopped displaying that they are accepting MasterCard due to the new crackdown. This is a big blow for online casino/poker/bingo operators as a lot of gambling transactions are done via credit cards. Its reported that MasterCards biggest rival Visa are also following them in the footsteps and are taking similar measures to stop such transactions. Why are the top credit card companies doing this? Well MasterCard and Visa and all other Banks and Card Operators will sooner or later have to do this thanks to a fantastic (not) new law coming into place soon in the USA that stops online gambling transactions from happening via payment companies. This law is called the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). The new law is set to come into place on June 1st 2010 but was supposed to come into place in December last year.

The Treasure Nile slot game became another in the long list of Microgaming slots that has paid a recent jackpot on Saturday. The jackpot was cracked by one lucky player for $44,976.

Microgaming is considered by many to be the top software provider in the world for online casinos. Part of the reason they have gained that title is their commitment to putting out the top games in the history.

Microgaming slots are not only considered the best among industry insiders, but also by the players. Jackpots have been frequent over the past couple of months, and they have been hit from the penny slots up to the high stakes games.

Treasure Nile has now had its top prize hit three times in the past two weeks. Just over three months ago, the jackpot was hit twice for over $100,000. The first hit was for $149,075, and the second winner was paid $131,082.
